28 points is a popular total for football teams to score in a game.In week one of the NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 28-2, while the Green Bay Packers scored 28 BUT lost to San Francisco, 34-28. Last Monday night (Sept. 9) the San Diego Chargers collapsed in the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans and lost 31-28.

Week two just wrapped up in the NFL but NO team scored 28.
24 seemed to be a more popular number. The Buffalo Bills beat the Carolina Panthers, 24-23. Miami won over Indianapolis, 24-20, but 24 wasn't enough for the Titans and Rams in their respective losses to the Texans (30-24) and Falcons (31-24).

For the record, I picked the Atlanta Falcons to win the Super Bowl before the season started.

I will pick the Atlanta #Falcons to win the Super Bowl this season. Gotta feel bad for a city that has lost it's #NHL team twice:( #NFL
